I grew up on Vietnamese food and while my mom is an excellent cook, but she is no help in giving me instructions and measurements. 😊 So I appreciate all your tips! And your recipes are ridiculously delicious. I have made a few and am going to tackle more. THANKS SO MUCH for providing links to the written recipes. BEYOND appreciated. Thank you for sharing all your cooking! ❤️
thank you for English version of Vietnamese food, as a Vietnamese- American who loves to cook and eat Vietnamese food this channel is a great help! Your voice is also very calming 😊
Em da lam thu banh beo chen trong ngay sinh nhat con em. Tat ca moi nguoi deu thich. Em da thu rat nhieu recipe. Day la recipe em thich nhat. Cam on chi.
Hi chị, đã lâu lắm rồi em không có ăn những món ăn VN như vậy vì chỗ em ở ít có nhà hang Việt. Vì vậy em đã làm theo hướng dẫn của chị và đã thành công, em hấp bánh ngày hôm trước, để ngày hôm sau thì bánh vẫn mềm, không cần hấp lại. Thanks chị nhiều.
I had this dish when I went to China Town in Toronto years ago. Loved it and have wanted it again, many times. Thanks so much for the video recipe and the alternatives. I've got all the fixings and now I can make it here at home. Thanks again!!
Hi Chị Trang. I'm so glad and so proud of we having the English Version Cooking Show for Vietnamese Food now. I love your show a lot since the 1st time watching. It s so professional. I recommended it to my cousin, she loves it too. I want to say thank you very much. I did success on " Bánh Bèo " using your recipe . I know how to make Bánh Bèo before. But l love your recipe for "Bánh Bèo" mix. That ' s how make it tastes right. Thanks again.....
Thank you Rose, I hope you enjoy the cookbook. I am really happy to hear you like my Banh Beo recipe and appreciate you recommending my channel to your cousin. Happy Cooking!
Awesome tutorial. So practical detail and easy to follow. I did it before but never thought about using muffin pan or cupcake liner. Thanks for sharing
It is funny chi, I use your receipt to make banh coun turn out to be the perfect receipt. I thx so much for your help, love you and happy new year to you and your family.

Dear chị, This is the first video that I've watched but I fell in love with tour channel right away. Very helpful for home cooking. And the video's quality and editing are awesome. You should deserve more views.
Thank you so much, I've struggled to make this dish because I hate raiding my kitchen items.... I steam from Chinese spoons to bowls and cups. I never thought about using the items you showed, duh.... So cool. Definitely going to go Banh Beo crazy this weekend!
Hi chi, love your channel and well clearly presentation in English. Your English is great!!!! I have watched many Vietnamese cooking channels, but I really like your channel. The way you have explained clearly and easy to understand. I love to cook but more in main core, Now I know more on how to make deserve for my family. Thank you.
Your tips and tricks are awesome. I always wanted to make Banh Beo when study abroad in the US but couldn't think of these easy steps and tools. Thank u chi Trang ;)
Quynh Nguyen Hi Quyen, I am glad to hear you liked the tips I shared. I've made this dish for my friends at their house and all I had to work with was a wok so I've had to get creative :) Thanks for stopping by!
+NeonHao Hi em, Chị làm video bằng tiếng Anh vì muốn hướng dẫn các em nhỏ VN lớn lên ở Mỹ thực hiện những bữa cơm gia đình và cũng để chia sẻ món ăn VN với những bạn ngoại quốc vì tiếng Anh hầu như thông dụng ở đại đa số các quốc gia khác trên thế giới, ngay cả ở VN. Cám ơn bạn đã ghé Channel. :)
Chị oi!hôm nay em làm được món bánh bèo nữa, chỉ có tin không khi làm xong em ăn hết luôn, làm hôm nay em phải bỏ bữa cơm trưa, nhưng không sao vì nó quá ngon cám on chị nhiều nhé
Hi em Leon, I am so happy to hear you were successful with making bánh bèo. Enjoying your own home-cooked food is the best. Great job and thanks for sharing your comments with me!
Chị nói tiếng anh nghe hay qua..thích nhất là cái bánh làm từ miếng goi giấy bac..đẹp và tien loi.Em hay làm bột bị hư..mong là lần này làm ok..Thanks!
Trang, you outdid yourself in this video. Love the presentation of the banh beos. They look beautiful no matter how you made them. I love all the tips and alternatives you gave on how to make these (the water bottle, the various vessels to cook the banh beos in, the glove to keep your arm from getting scorched, etc.). Just curious, do they typically come with the mung beans? I've not had them in a long time, but I don't recall them having mung beans in them. I thought it was just the dried shrimp...but I'm old and my memory is not that great. LOL! BTW, I'm also curious as to why you dumped out the water and then replaced it with fresh water.
Doodah Gurl Hi DG, you are very sweet. I am glad you liked the tips I shared. I had to cut it off as the video was getting lengthy already. These cakes vary by region. Most people are use to the banh beo from Hue which has fried pieces of pork/pork skin along with the toasted shrimp and scallion oil. This recipe is the southern version which has mung bean paste instead of the pork. I wanted to keep the recipe authentic but what I really like is both the mung bean paste and pork. Replacing the water is a way to rinse the rice flour of any impurities or funky odors which is common with some of the packaged flours. I replaced the water just once but some folks repeat this process multiple times as it helps to make the cakes nice and white. Hope that helps!
Bánh chị làm chưa có xoáy, bánh bèo sẽ đẹp hơn khi có xoáy đó chị...Em ko biết do bột hay do chén chưa đủ nóng, hoặc do chị cho ít bột vào chén quá...Nhưng em sẽ try thử cách mix bột của chị, vì em chỉ toàn dùng bột pha sẵn mua ngoài chợ...Thanks chị for sharing the video.
Hi Phiyen, you're very welcome. Nothing brings back fond memories of youth better then some good home cooking. Enjoy the recipe and please stop back to share your results.
Oh my goodness this is a great video !!! I have made this before but the way you showed it is amazing. I love it thank you so much...Always great recipes!
Hi Trang, thank you for posting these video! I've only watched a few and enjoyed each one every time. You speak so eloquent and clearly that's why I love your video posts! The only suggestion I have is that could please you say some of the dishes' name in Vietnamese? I was born and raised in America, so my Vietnamese is minimal, but I'm trying to get back to my roots to learn my heritage. So far, I've made banh xeo and banh choui while using your recipe. Thanks again, Trang! Huong
+Huong Phan Hi Huong, I love to hear that you're interested in learning more about our heritage. I'll keep your request in mind for upcoming videos. Thanks for trying my recipes and sharing feedback!
Hi Thanh Thuy, store the toasted shrimp in the refrigerator for up 1 month. Yes, you can store the batter overnight in the refrigerator. Good Luck with the recipe!
I had a dessert version of this steamed rice cake in. Vietnamese restaurant using coconut meat and thickened coconut milk on top. Do you have a suggestion for this topping?

Hi chi Thuy Mai, thank you for the kind words. You are very sweet. I am glad to hear you were successful with the Coffee and Cream Agar dessert and your husband enjoyed it. Banh Beo is not difficult to make and I know you can do. I am looking forward to seeing pictures once you make banh beo. Good Luck!
great video! was wondering how long the steamed rice cakes would keep for? will the texture and the taste of the steamed rice cakes keep if I prepared them 1 day in advance and put in the fridge overnight? i would bring the cakes back to room temperature before I am ready to serve/add toppings the next day. thanks for the help!
Anthony Martin Hi Anthony, thanks for checking out my vid. I recommend consuming the cakes within 3 days of making them. They tend to dry out after being stored in the fridge. If making the day before, they will be just fine. You can warm them up a bit in the microwave or re-steam. They will be delicious!
Mình có thể hấp bằng cái chén nhựa đc ko cô? =O Chén loại như chén ăn cơm ấy ạ! And thank you for such a beautiful vid, I think my parents will like it tonight! ;)
You're awesome Chi Trang. I love your videos with many great tips with especially removing/adding the liquid to the batter mixture. I made this often but only using the ready store bought flour. Now I know how to mix this flour mixture from scratch. Thanks again Chi Trang and have a great day.
Hoa Nguyen Hi Hoa, you're very sweet. I am glad you enjoyed the recipe and the tips I shared. No need to buy a packaged mix now that you can make it from scratch. :) Enjoy!!
Great video tutorial. These were one of my favorite dishes growing up and generally I could easily order a plate of banh beo or get a tray to go as a kid. Nowadays I live far away from any Vietnamese community, so I will have to try preparing your recipe. What's the reasoning for switching out a cup of water after the batter rests? Thank you. -Elizabeth
sbmal it is to remove any old flour smell from your batter. also it is not exactly a cup.... you want to remove as much old liquid as possible without disturbing the flour that has settle on the bottom and pour back in the same amount of new liquid.
Hi Elizabeth, as E.M T nicely explained above it's a method for rinsing the rice flour to remove any impurities. It helps the cakes to be nice and white. I hope you make these soon to enjoy at home! :)
RunAwayRice not a problem.... btw i love your tutorials.... i never thought to use muffin pan or cupcake tin for making banh beo... great idea... if you have a pot big enough, i wonder if you can stack the pan to make it quicker? i would have to try it one day.... also when using the pan.... will the dimple in the middle form?? i love making it but hate doing the dishes afterward lol so i may lean toward the cupcake tin.
E.M T Hi, glad you liked the options I shared. I use the cupcake liners so I don't have to wash all those little dishes :D My steamer tray is pretty big so I can actually stack 2 mini-muffin pans criss-cross. I have 2 tiers on my steamer and can make 4 dozen at a time. To get the little dimples, you'll have to use more batter than I did. I like my cakes on the thinner side. I hope you'll give this recipe a try!
Hello I am Indian n want to make this recipe.just want to know that does rice flour is normal rice flour.and can potato starch be used instead of tapioca starch.plz reply
Hello Trang, Thanks of the recipe. I don't currently have tapioca starch so I was wondering can I use corn starch to replace tapioca starch? Please let me know. Thanks.
+Emmie Hi Emmie, yes you can replace the tapioca starch with all corn starch. I think you'll notice the difference in texture but the cakes will still be delicious! Let me know how it turns out for you. :)
love ur recipes, where do i get those plates and steel plates. also plz post more veg recipes. I love ur style of cooking. v informative and easy to follow. Thanks.
+Neetu Lalmalani Hi, I bought the metal tray for cooking the cakes at the Vietnamese grocery store. I can provide store info, if you'd like. Thank you for watching and for your support :)
My sister-in-law came from Vietnam a little over a year ago. She and my brother have a beautiful new baby girl! I'd like to try to do the 'one month party' for them. What recipes would you recommend?
+Louise Hodgson Hi Louise, a 1-month party for the new baby in your family is so sweet! Here are a few of my party favorites: Fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon), Simple Crock Pot Vietnamese Meatballs (Xiu Mai), Stir-Fried Egg Noodles, (Mi Xao Mem) or Glass Noodle Salad with Seafood (Goi Mien Tron Hai San), Sponge Cake or the Chocolate Flan Cake. If you have time--Steamed Rice Cakes/Cow Cakes/Steamed Honeycomb Cakes (Banh Bo Hap)--you can make these cakes pink! I hope the party goes well! Let me know if you have any questions.
I was so lazy i immediately thought of using one big dish as i have made them before and realized it was just mini versions of chinese cheung fun but these are more fun. I wonder if you have tried using brown rice flour? I realize that will not be as smooth but i thought it might be a bit healthier than white rice flour as i like eating these alot! Also, i have to skip the cornflour as i am intolerant to it right now (same with potato flour and wheat gluten). Is there anything i can add as a substitute? I notice the texture is not as nice without it. Water chestnut starch or kudzu perhaps? I love how thorough your videos are and how many tips and tricks you share, ones that veterans will figure out after lots of experience!
theuglykwan Not lazy at all! These cakes are labor intensive! It always cracks me up how much time I spend making these cakes and my family devours them in mere minutes :D I have not tried brown rice flour but it sounds really good. Yes, the texture would be different but it's a healthy option. You can skip the cornflour. It helps to tone down the chewy texture of the tapioca starch. You could substitute with arrowroot, chick pea, water chestnut flour or kudzu. I think it would complement the brown rice flour nicely. Thanks for stopping by!
RunAwayRice Oh i always thought arrowroot and tapioca starch were the same. I will look into the alternatives. I did notice when i used less tapioca starch in my recipe the texture was a bit better. I use a bit more when i make the sweet cake version as i like the chewiness for that. I think even the big version is work as i need 1-3 to satisfy myself. So one time i though i will make it thick and cake like as i only have one container. That was a mistake as it was a bit stodgy, it is better thin and rolled up if necessary. But thanks for the recipe and feedback, i will be watching and trying out more. :)
theuglykwan Arrowroot is a tuber that looks like a turnip. Tapioca is from cassava. Both are great alternatives to corn starch. They yield different textures so you'll have to try to see which you prefer. Lol "1-3 cakes to satisfy myself". If your wok or steamer is big enough, you can make one the size of a medium pizza. :)
chị ơi hôm nay em mới làm bánh bèo xong, ăn ngon lắm :) chỉ có em đổ hơi dày nên nhìn không dc đẹp. Bé nhà em đang ngồi ăn bánh bèo việt nam nè :).Chị bữa nào làm cái video hướng dẫn làm cái bột dùng để cuốn chả giò, nơi em sống ko có tiệm châu á để mua sẵn nên em tính tự làm để xài :D
mama stock Rất vui khi biết em đã thành công với món bánh bèo. Tuy không được đẹp nhưng ngon là chính phải không? Em thực hành vài lần thì có kinh nghiệm và sẽ có được dĩa bánh bèo như ý. Em ở đâu mà không có tiệm Á Châu? Em có thể mua online cũng được. Chị không có ý định thực hiện video này vì ở Mỹ vỏ chả giò bán rất rẻ ở các tiệm thực phẩm Á Châu và ngay cả ở các siêu thị của Mỹ cũng có. Cám ơn em đã ghé channel.
dạ em ở đức, nhưng thành phố em sống rất ít người châu á, chỉ có vài gia đình thôi nên cũng không có tiêm á. Mỗi lần mua em phải đi xe lên Hamburg, cách khoảng 45 phút đi xe. Có khi rãnh thì vợ chồng mới lên mua dc, còn không nhiều khi thèm không có ăn :D nên thường ở nhà em chịu khó học cách tự làm các loại bột và mì, ít đi mua sẵn. Em đang làm một hộp chao và dưa món theo công thức của chị, hồi hộp lắm, chờ hết tuần mới dc ăn thử :) em lấy chồng sớm, hồi còn học sinh thì dc cưng chiều và lo học nên chẳng phải đụng tay nấu ăn bao giờ, em rất thích ăn nhưng vì có mẹ nấu ngon rồi với lại lo đi học nên đến thịt bò hay thịt heo em còn chẳng biết mua :P, nhưng khi theo chồng qua đức em mới thấm cái sự thèm đồ ăn việt, em theo dõi channel của chị từ những video đầu tiên và học dc nhiều kinh nghiệm lắm, cảm ơn chị nhiều. Bé nhà em là con lai nhưng em muốn tập cho cháu ăn dc đồ việt, và thấy bé rất thích ăn :)
mama stock Hi em, trường hợp của em giống như gia đình chị hồi mới sang Mỹ. Muốn có thức ăn Á Đông Bố Mẹ chị phải lái xe 2 tiếng tới Chinatown mới có. Chị còn nhớ mỗi lần đi như thế thường thì mua rất nhiều. Em chịu khó học nấu ăn như vậy rất tốt cho Gia Đình và nhất là tập cho con của em thích món ăn VN. À, chao và dưa món em làm có ngon không ? Nếu có thắc mắc gì thì cho chị biết, chị sẽ trả lời trong khả năng của chị. Cám ơn em đã ghé channel.
dạ dưa món ngon lắm chị, còn chao thì em làm lần này là lần thứ hai vẫn thất bại :( chao không lên men và mềm ra được, em làm theo từng bước rồi mà không biết sai chỗ nào. Chị ơi cái mắm của dưa món, mình ăn hết rồi mình xài mắm đó mình muối tiếp dc không hay phải quăng vậy chị?:) em theo dõi blog và channel của chị em cũng muốn dc như chị, chị đẹp và giỏi quá!
mama stock Chị chưa bao giờ dùng lại nước mắm cũ của dưa món, nhưng nếu muốn em có thể thử bang cách pha 1 phần nước mắm cũ và 1 phần nước mắm mới, hai thứ trộn chung lại nấu sôi, vớt sạch bọt xem sao. Còn chao không lên men và mềm ra được, có thể em mua nhằm đậu hũ cứng và nhiệt độ trong nhà em lạnh quá nên chao không lên men được. Nếu trời lạnh em nên ủ lâu hơn phải để 2 - 3 ngày chao mới lên men. Chúc em thành công.
RunAwayRice do you know how to Mae from scratch sesame rice crackers or shrimp crackers instead of go buying it bc in hawaii we do not have it on the island I'm on. There's alot I don't have for vietnamese dishes :(

Bánh chị làm chưa có xoáy, bánh bèo sẽ đẹp hơn khi có xoáy đó chị...Em ko biết do bột hay do chén chưa đủ nóng, hoặc do chị cho ít bột vào chén quá...Nhưng em sẽ try thử cách mix bột của chị, vì em chỉ toàn dùng bột pha sẵn mua ngoài chợ...Thanks chị for sharing the video.
Hi em, bánh bèo mình làm không có xoáy, vì không thích ăn nhiều bột cho nên không đổ dầy. Em thích có xoáy cho nhiều bột nha. Chúc bạn thành công!
you video is so clear and styles... love...
Thanks so much! 😃

Thank you Thanh. I hope you make some to enjoy. I make it at home because I would go broke eating banh beo at the restaurants! :)
Very clear explanation, love it!!!! Btw ive never have banh beo that's topped with mung bean paste.
I recommend trying banh beo with the mung bean paste. It's wonderful. Thank you for your kind words!
RunAwayRice Also how large is your steamer and the tray? (Like what's the diameter of the base and the height)
Chi, thank you for the last tip! COMPLETELY brilliant!

Hi Trang, thank you for posting these video! I've only watched a few and enjoyed each one every time. You speak so eloquent and clearly that's why I love your video posts! The only suggestion I have is that could please you say some of the dishes' name in Vietnamese? I was born and raised in America, so my Vietnamese is minimal, but I'm trying to get back to my roots to learn my heritage. So far, I've made banh xeo and banh choui while using your recipe. Thanks again, Trang!

+Huong Phan Hi Huong, I love to hear that you're interested in learning more about our heritage. I'll keep your request in mind for upcoming videos. Thanks for trying my recipes and sharing feedback!
Thank you it looks delicious...

Thank you! simple and easy to follow. I have a question. Why do we need corn starch if we already using tapioca starch??
Thank you for this! Where did you get your steamer basket?
tôm cháy này bảo quản dc lâu k chị.mà bột làm k hết mình cất tủ lạnh qua hôm sau xài dc k ạ
Hi Thanh Thuy, store the toasted shrimp in the refrigerator for up 1 month. Yes, you can store the batter overnight in the refrigerator. Good Luck with the recipe!
I had a dessert version of this steamed rice cake in. Vietnamese restaurant using coconut meat and thickened coconut milk on top. Do you have a suggestion for this topping?

Hi chi Thuy Mai, thank you for the kind words. You are very sweet. I am glad to hear you were successful with the Coffee and Cream Agar dessert and your husband enjoyed it. Banh Beo is not difficult to make and I know you can do. I am looking forward to seeing pictures once you make banh beo. Good Luck!
great video! was wondering how long the steamed rice cakes would keep for? will the texture and the taste of the steamed rice cakes keep if I prepared them 1 day in advance and put in the fridge overnight? i would bring the cakes back to room temperature before I am ready to serve/add toppings the next day. thanks for the help!
Anthony Martin Hi Anthony, thanks for checking out my vid. I recommend consuming the cakes within 3 days of making them. They tend to dry out after being stored in the fridge. If making the day before, they will be just fine. You can warm them up a bit in the microwave or re-steam. They will be delicious!
Mình có thể hấp bằng cái chén nhựa đc ko cô? =O Chén loại như chén ăn cơm ấy ạ!
And thank you for such a beautiful vid, I think my parents will like it tonight! ;)
Yes, you can steam in the plastic rice bowls. Any small bowl will work just fine. Good Luck!! I hope your parents enjoy your cooking 😃
You're awesome Chi Trang. I love your videos with many great tips with especially removing/adding the liquid to the batter mixture. I made this often but only using the ready store bought flour. Now I know how to mix this flour mixture from scratch. Thanks again Chi Trang and have a great day.
Hoa Nguyen Hi Hoa, you're very sweet. I am glad you enjoyed the recipe and the tips I shared. No need to buy a packaged mix now that you can make it from scratch. :) Enjoy!!
At 4:48, where did you get the specialty pan from?
Great video tutorial. These were one of my favorite dishes growing up and generally I could easily order a plate of banh beo or get a tray to go as a kid. Nowadays I live far away from any Vietnamese community, so I will have to try preparing your recipe. What's the reasoning for switching out a cup of water after the batter rests? Thank you.
-Elizabeth
sbmal it is to remove any old flour smell from your batter. also it is not exactly a cup.... you want to remove as much old liquid as possible without disturbing the flour that has settle on the bottom and pour back in the same amount of new liquid.
E.M T Thanks for answering Elizabeth's question and providing more clarification...love it!
Hi Elizabeth, as E.M T nicely explained above it's a method for rinsing the rice flour to remove any impurities. It helps the cakes to be nice and white. I hope you make these soon to enjoy at home! :)
RunAwayRice not a problem.... btw i love your tutorials.... i never thought to use muffin pan or cupcake tin for making banh beo... great idea... if you have a pot big enough, i wonder if you can stack the pan to make it quicker? i would have to try it one day.... also when using the pan.... will the dimple in the middle form?? i love making it but hate doing the dishes afterward lol so i may lean toward the cupcake tin.
E.M T Hi, glad you liked the options I shared. I use the cupcake liners so I don't have to wash all those little dishes :D My steamer tray is pretty big so I can actually stack 2 mini-muffin pans criss-cross. I have 2 tiers on my steamer and can make 4 dozen at a time. To get the little dimples, you'll have to use more batter than I did. I like my cakes on the thinner side. I hope you'll give this recipe a try!
that doesn't look like anything I've ever eaten but I think I'm gonna try making it. Sounds like it would be delicious!
Thanks! I hope you give this recipe a try. Enjoy!

+hoa truong Awesome! I hope you'll give this recipe a try.
Thanks.It is a great video.love it.
Thank you Hanh!
Love your Tips. Cam on Co.
You're welcome! :)
Hello Trang,
Thanks of the recipe. I don't currently have tapioca starch so I was wondering can I use corn starch to replace tapioca starch? Please let me know. Thanks.
+Emmie Hi Emmie, yes you can replace the tapioca starch with all corn starch. I think you'll notice the difference in texture but the cakes will still be delicious! Let me know how it turns out for you. :)
Thank you chi rat nhieu.
Kathy Le You're welcome Kathy. Chuc em thanh cong!
love ur recipes, where do i get those plates and steel plates. also plz post more veg recipes. I love ur style of cooking. v informative and easy to follow. Thanks.
+Neetu Lalmalani Hi, I bought the metal tray for cooking the cakes at the Vietnamese grocery store. I can provide store info, if you'd like. Thank you for watching and for your support :)
My sister-in-law came from Vietnam a little over a year ago. She and my brother have a beautiful new baby girl! I'd like to try to do the 'one month party' for them. What recipes would you recommend?
+Louise Hodgson Hi Louise, a 1-month party for the new baby in your family is so sweet! Here are a few of my party favorites: Fresh Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon), Simple Crock Pot Vietnamese Meatballs (Xiu Mai), Stir-Fried Egg Noodles, (Mi Xao Mem) or Glass Noodle Salad with Seafood (Goi Mien Tron Hai San), Sponge Cake or the Chocolate Flan Cake. If you have time--Steamed Rice Cakes/Cow Cakes/Steamed Honeycomb Cakes (Banh Bo Hap)--you can make these cakes pink! I hope the party goes well! Let me know if you have any questions.
Yay a new recipe! Just curious, why did u remove the liquid after the batter mixture rested and add in new liquid?
Hi, It's a technique for 'washing' the rice flour and removes any dirt or impurities. It helps to keep the cakes nice and white. Hope that helps.
Love, love, love your videos!
I was so lazy i immediately thought of using one big dish as i have made them before and realized it was just mini versions of chinese cheung fun but these are more fun.
I wonder if you have tried using brown rice flour? I realize that will not be as smooth but i thought it might be a bit healthier than white rice flour as i like eating these alot!
Also, i have to skip the cornflour as i am intolerant to it right now (same with potato flour and wheat gluten). Is there anything i can add as a substitute? I notice the texture is not as nice without it. Water chestnut starch or kudzu perhaps?
I love how thorough your videos are and how many tips and tricks you share, ones that veterans will figure out after lots of experience!
theuglykwan Not lazy at all! These cakes are labor intensive! It always cracks me up how much time I spend making these cakes and my family devours them in mere minutes :D I have not tried brown rice flour but it sounds really good. Yes, the texture would be different but it's a healthy option. You can skip the cornflour. It helps to tone down the chewy texture of the tapioca starch. You could substitute with arrowroot, chick pea, water chestnut flour or kudzu. I think it would complement the brown rice flour nicely. Thanks for stopping by!
RunAwayRice Oh i always thought arrowroot and tapioca starch were the same. I will look into the alternatives. I did notice when i used less tapioca starch in my recipe the texture was a bit better. I use a bit more when i make the sweet cake version as i like the chewiness for that.
I think even the big version is work as i need 1-3 to satisfy myself. So one time i though i will make it thick and cake like as i only have one container. That was a mistake as it was a bit stodgy, it is better thin and rolled up if necessary.
But thanks for the recipe and feedback, i will be watching and trying out more. :)
theuglykwan Arrowroot is a tuber that looks like a turnip. Tapioca is from cassava. Both are great alternatives to corn starch. They yield different textures so you'll have to try to see which you prefer. Lol "1-3 cakes to satisfy myself". If your wok or steamer is big enough, you can make one the size of a medium pizza. :)
yummy and beautiful
Thank you Long! :)
chị ơi hôm nay em mới làm bánh bèo xong, ăn ngon lắm :) chỉ có em đổ hơi dày nên nhìn không dc đẹp. Bé nhà em đang ngồi ăn bánh bèo việt nam nè :).Chị bữa nào làm cái video hướng dẫn làm cái bột dùng để cuốn chả giò, nơi em sống ko có tiệm châu á để mua sẵn nên em tính tự làm để xài :D
mama stock Rất vui khi biết em đã thành công với món bánh bèo. Tuy không được đẹp nhưng ngon là chính phải không? Em thực hành vài lần thì có kinh nghiệm và sẽ có được dĩa bánh bèo như ý.
Em ở đâu mà không có tiệm Á Châu? Em có thể mua online cũng được. Chị không có ý định thực hiện video này vì ở Mỹ vỏ chả giò bán rất rẻ ở các tiệm thực phẩm Á Châu và ngay cả ở các siêu thị của Mỹ cũng có. Cám ơn em đã ghé channel.
dạ em ở đức, nhưng thành phố em sống rất ít người châu á, chỉ có vài gia đình thôi nên cũng không có tiêm á. Mỗi lần mua em phải đi xe lên Hamburg, cách khoảng 45 phút đi xe. Có khi rãnh thì vợ chồng mới lên mua dc, còn không nhiều khi thèm không có ăn :D nên thường ở nhà em chịu khó học cách tự làm các loại bột và mì, ít đi mua sẵn. Em đang làm một hộp chao và dưa món theo công thức của chị, hồi hộp lắm, chờ hết tuần mới dc ăn thử :) em lấy chồng sớm, hồi còn học sinh thì dc cưng chiều và lo học nên chẳng phải đụng tay nấu ăn bao giờ, em rất thích ăn nhưng vì có mẹ nấu ngon rồi với lại lo đi học nên đến thịt bò hay thịt heo em còn chẳng biết mua :P, nhưng khi theo chồng qua đức em mới thấm cái sự thèm đồ ăn việt, em theo dõi channel của chị từ những video đầu tiên và học dc nhiều kinh nghiệm lắm, cảm ơn chị nhiều. Bé nhà em là con lai nhưng em muốn tập cho cháu ăn dc đồ việt, và thấy bé rất thích ăn :)
mama stock Hi em, trường hợp của em giống như gia đình chị hồi mới sang Mỹ. Muốn có thức ăn Á Đông Bố Mẹ chị phải lái xe 2 tiếng tới Chinatown mới có. Chị còn nhớ mỗi lần đi như thế thường thì mua rất nhiều. Em chịu khó học nấu ăn như vậy rất tốt cho Gia Đình và nhất là tập cho con của em thích món ăn VN. À, chao và dưa món em làm có ngon không ? Nếu có thắc mắc gì thì cho chị biết, chị sẽ trả lời trong khả năng của chị. Cám ơn
em đã ghé channel.
dạ dưa món ngon lắm chị, còn chao thì em làm lần này là lần thứ hai vẫn thất bại :( chao không lên men và mềm ra được, em làm theo từng bước rồi mà không biết sai chỗ nào. Chị ơi cái mắm của dưa món, mình ăn hết rồi mình xài mắm đó mình muối tiếp dc không hay phải quăng vậy chị?:) em theo dõi blog và channel của chị em cũng muốn dc như chị, chị đẹp và giỏi quá!
mama stock Chị chưa bao giờ dùng lại nước mắm cũ của dưa món, nhưng nếu muốn em có thể thử bang cách pha 1 phần nước mắm cũ và 1 phần nước mắm mới, hai thứ trộn chung lại nấu sôi, vớt sạch bọt xem sao. Còn chao không lên men và mềm ra được, có thể em mua nhằm đậu hũ cứng và nhiệt độ trong nhà em lạnh quá nên chao không lên men được. Nếu trời lạnh em nên ủ lâu hơn phải để 2 - 3 ngày chao mới lên men. Chúc em thành công.
Chi can you teach how to make mon Nhau dishes please?
